Hi,
I'm looking forward to *migrate a large configuration package* to Ansible.
With a verification script we check that the finally distributed files are
the
same as we have without Ansible. In first phase we moved everything
into the template folder of the role; reducing configuration code with Jinja
templating comes in next phase.
So with first phase (as mentioned) we detected following problems:
a) *Line endings*: We have files with different line endings (Windows and
Linux)
but the Ansible template module translates all in one (default: Linux).
We have been able to workaround writing a filter plugin but probably
there
should be an option like "keep" in addition to given ones in field
"newline_sequence".
(feature request)
b) *File encoding*: Usually we have ASCII files for configuration but a few
ones do have
ISO-8859. We detected that final file is converted to UTF-8. I don't
see an option to
specify encoding. *Any ideas how to handle it?*
kind regards,
Thomas
